Other times, he will chase and then give up. Sometimes, soldiers will spot a Commando and chase him. Second, the intelligence exhibited by the Nazi soldiers is not consistent. This is war, after all, and people die in war. Sometimes, however, a casualty does not necessarily prohibit the completion of a mission. If a mission depends on your team escaping on a boat and your marine gets killed so no one can row a boat, then maybe ending a mission is justified. Now, I can understand this in some cases. While I like Commandos a lot, there are a couple of features I simply do not like.įirst, if one of your men dies, the mission is over. After losing several hours of play time because I forget to save my game, I quickly became aware of the CTRL+S function. Playing Commandos is like being hit in the head with a hammer with "SAVE" written on the handle. I am the type of gamer who gets so enveloped into a game that I always forget to save my progress. Even if you cannot complete a level without losing one of your men, the effort usually shows you a new way to attack the mission.Ĭommandos is also the kind of game that teaches you to save your games periodically. Commandos offers a great challenge, and it is the type of game that allows you to learn from your mistakes. It is a tight game that misses few details. There was a definite drop in his voice as he said, "Yes, sir." It bothered me so much that I eventually turned the sound off whenever a mission called for a lot of marine action. Whenever I called on him to move, he sounded annoyed. I particularly disliked the French-accented Fins. The limited number of phrases that each commando utters can become repetitive and annoying. The rumble of tanks, the slice of a knife, the bang of a gun and the spring of the sapper's bear trap all meld to form a decent soundscape. Still, the good looks so good that it is hard to fault it for some tiny details.
This can make it difficult to spot your men, especially in areas with heavy foliage.
The game's overhead view and your team's ability to scan the landscape for Nazis force the characters presented in Commandos to be very small. The decay and destruction of World War II also leave their marks on the terrain. Trees, snow, rocks, flowing water and other organic scenery comprise most of the background. Each level contains many intricate details. By the time you finally stop, it is time to get out of bed. It is the kind of game that tricks you into playing it until the wee hours of the morning. Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines is an addictive, well-produced game.
